Along the way, they connect these stories to Daniel, Jonah, the Psalms, spiritual warfare, and the bigger question Matthew keeps asking: Who is Jesus?

Ep. 112. Leviticus 03 - Should Christians Follow Unclean Food Laws?
Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will explore why Leviticus distinguishes between clean and unclean animals, including rules about mammals, seafood, birds, and carcasses. They explain how Israel’s dietary laws set God’s people apart and taught them to think seriously about holiness and drawing near to God. They also discuss why Christians are no longer required to follow these food restrictions and how Jesus shifts the focus from ritual cleanliness to the condition of the heart. The conversation examines childbirth purification, the cleansing ritual for leprosy, and how its imagery points to Jesus. You’ll also learn how Christians are called to live differently through love, obedience, and the fruit of the Spirit. Consider what habits in your life draw you toward God and what needs to be left behind. Share this episode with someone who wants to understand Leviticus and its meaning for Christians today.

Ep. 13. Matthew 7 Pt. 2 - What Did Jesus Really Mean by "Ask, Seek, Knock"?
Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO This episode finishes Matthew chapter 7 from the Sermon on the Mount, covering what Jesus really meant by "ask, seek, and knock." Sam and Will explain how the Greek grammar reveals this is a command to persevere in pursuing God, not a promise that God will give you anything you want. They explore how Luke 11:13 shows that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate gift God wants to give you, and how Paul's thorn in the flesh demonstrates God's power working through weakness. The episode also covers the Golden Rule, the narrow gate, how to recognize false prophets by their fruit, and the sobering warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter heaven. The key takeaway is that salvation is not about religious performance but about truly knowing Jesus and building your life on Him as your foundation. If you are new to the Bible or exploring Christianity, this episode will help you understand what it means to trust God even when He does not answer prayer the way you expect.

Ep. 110. Leviticus 01 - What Do the 5 Offerings in Leviticus Mean for Christians Today?
Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through the five offerings in Leviticus chapters 1–6 and explain what each one reveals about how God invites us to worship Him. The Hebrew word for offering, "korban," comes from a root meaning "to draw near," showing that God's heart behind every sacrifice is an invitation to approach Him. The five offerings covered are the burnt offering (total consecration), the grain offering (thanksgiving and tribute), the peace offering (fellowship and communion), the purification offering (cleansing from defilement), and the guilt offering (paying the debt of sin). Each offering finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, connecting Old Testament worship to the Christian life through passages like Romans 12, Ephesians 2, and Hebrews 13. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or revisiting Leviticus for the first time in years, this episode makes the book practical and deeply meaningful for everyday faith.

Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Matthew chapter 7 and tackle one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible: "Do Not Judge." They explain what Jesus actually meant, why Christians are still called to make wise moral judgments, and how failing to judge evil actually harms innocent people. You'll learn the Greek word "krino," which literally means "to separate," and how that changes everything about how we read this passage. The episode also covers the log and the speck (Matthew 7:3-5), what "pearls before swine" really means, and when wisdom says to hold back rather than share. Whether you're new to faith or rethinking what you've been taught about judgment, this episode will challenge you to examine your own heart first. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.

They explore how Leviticus sits at the center of the Torah and reveals God's invitation for sinful people to draw near to Him through worship. The episode covers fun facts about Leviticus, including why it contains more direct speech from God than any other book of the Bible, and how the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16 is the heart of the entire book. You will learn how the tabernacle represents a journey from death to life and how Jesus fulfills every sacrifice, law, and ritual described in Leviticus. Whether you have struggled to read Leviticus or never tried, this episode will show you why understanding it makes the gospel more beautiful and your faith more grounded.

Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus teaches his followers not to be anxious about food, clothing, or tomorrow. This passage connects directly to Jesus' teaching about money and serving two masters, revealing that anxiety often comes from a divided heart. The Greek word for anxiety, merimnao, literally means to be pulled in different directions, and Jesus uses the birds of the air and lilies of the field to show how much more God cares for his children. They explore why gratitude and anxiety cannot coexist in the brain, and how spiritual hoarding keeps us from the freedom God offers. If you struggle with worry, this episode offers both deep biblical teaching and practical strategies for trusting God with your tomorrow. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.

Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this final episode on Exodus, Sam and Will explore Exodus 35–40 and how the tabernacle construction reveals God's heart for willing worship over forced obedience. After the golden calf discipline, God invites Israel to give from a generous heart rather than demanding their resources, and the people respond with such overwhelming generosity that Moses has to tell them to stop. The episode highlights Bezalel as the first Spirit-filled person in Scripture, showing that every vocation is a divine calling. Sam and Will then trace the tabernacle pattern through the New Testament, revealing how Jesus' cry of "It is finished" and the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost made believers into living temples sent to the ends of the earth. They unpack the Samaritan woman encounter and Old Testament prophecies about living water flowing from the temple to bring life to dead places.
